Salicylic acid for clear, balanced skin

Salicylic acid

Salicylic acid is one of the most effective ingredients in skincare, known for its ability to exfoliate, unclog pores, and refine skin texture. As a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), it is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate deeply into the skin to eliminate blemishes, congestion, excess oil, and uneven texture. Regular use of salicylic acid can lead to a smoother, brighter, and more balanced complexion.
